I'm searching for a good birth control method to use. I have taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and Depro Vera before, and would not be incredubly unwilling to try them again. The problem is that I have a very hard time remembering the pill each day, and I have heard bad things about the shot. Such as: weight gain, increase in discharge... and I find it hard to believe that it is healthy to go through your life without having your period.
I know that this should be a question for my gynocologist, but I could not get an appointment for another month or so. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on a good method of birth control. Perhaps some good and bad experiences you have had?
Of course, older columnists prefered. (Indeed)

If you have trouble remembering, then the patch (ORTHO EVRA) might be your way to go. You put it somewhere that people can't see it (ie. your very lower back, upper shoulder) and it lasts for a week. So you only need to put it on 3 times a month.
Certain things work better for certain people however, and your doctor will know the best solution. And you never know - it could even be the shot.
Anyways, here are some sites that have to do specifically with Ortho Evra, the patch that might interest you.

I will talk to my doctor about the patch when I see her. Even though there is only a 2% chance that it will happen, I've always been worried that it would fall off. |
